Finding Your Voice

Take a moment and turn off all distractions, close your eyes, quiet your mind and focus on your breathing. Don't think about anything that you should be doing or anything from the outside world, simply let go of the world. Let only your own pure thoughts and feelings form within untouched by any other influence. What do you hear? What do you see? What do you feel? Where does your mind take you?

We all have an inner voice that is meant to guide us on our journey, it is the true self waiting to come out and sing. Over time the voice is muffled by the world if we do not listen to it. Cynicism and compromise weaken and batter our otherwise strong and wonderful voice. 

Each voice is different but can sing in harmony with others. If we refuse to listen to our voice and let the world shape who we are we wither on the vine and never really become who we were meant to be. If we listen to our true self and become that person of our own making then there are no limits. 

We were born into this world but were not meant to be shaped by it, we are instead meant to bring new creations into the world from within. Believe only what rings true within, only when we are true to ourselves can we really break free of the chains of this world. Our talents are the manifestation of our spiritual being attempting to spread our wings and fly. Why limit ourselves to dust and water?

  1. Oh, heck yes! This voice is real! Do not let it be muffled by the stupid cynicism of the world! And yes, it does harmonize with others. Very well put, Chris.

    1. Thanks, our inner voice should never be silenced. Imagine a world where everyone listened to their voice and let it sing, harmony and love would be the every expression of the human heart.

  2. Interesting. I took your advice. Nothing boring came to mind when the thoughts came entirely from within. It was all sex and violence without consequences...and why not? EVERYTHING is good when it is sincere.

    1. When our thoughts and feelings are entirely our own they are of pure love, boring is not an option. Everything is indeed good when sincere and from the heart.

  3. The outside should never determine what is within. It is the heart that must set our course. Or we will spend a lot of time going nowhere.

    1. Exactly, sometimes we just need to turn the world off for a bit so that we can hear what the heart is trying so desperately to tell us.
